William Harper Littlejohn is in Mongolia digging for fossils when he discovers an ice cave, and inside the body of a man entombed within the ice. An inscription frightens him, and he immediately sends a message to Doc Savage in New York. The message will bring Doc and his aides – along with Cadwiller Olden - on a perilous adventure that sets the world on fire. The resurrection of the man in the ice starts a wave of killing by a Mongol horde that takes Johnny to the brink of madness. Will Doc Savage be able to stop the terror that Johnny Littlejohn has released upon China?

This is another great adventure of the Man of Bronze in an epic tale that’s almost too big even for Doc Savage and his five aides. Before it’s done thousands will be slaughtered, and the world immersed in a World War. Will Murray’s creative writing continues to bring exciting adventures of Doc Savage into a new generation of readers, and another great cover by Joe DeVito graces the cover of “The Ice Genius”. Highly recommended.
